"What do we do? What are we supposed to do now?"
"That's enough," Brandon snapped. "Stop whining in my ear. Just get a lawyer over there."
"I'm afraid the lawyer will just side with Dad. He'll probably try to sue her for what happened to the baby."
"Then there's nothing I can do," Brandon said. "If you want to blame someone, blame her for bringing this on herself. My hands are tied."
***
The Mercer family couldn't do anything, but after Ethan got the call from Victor, the first thing he did was call Leonard.
An entire legal team was waiting by the police cars when they arrived at the station.
As Lillian was being led out of the car, the head of the legal team went over to speak with the officers.
When Lillian saw Ethan rushing toward her, she immediately understood why a whole team of lawyers was waiting for her.
They all looked like they were drenched in sweat, as if they’d run every red light to get there.
Leonard. It had to have been his orders.
It seemed like every time she got into any trouble, Leonard was the first one to find a way to shield her, no questions asked.
But this time, it really didn't seem necessary to make such a big scene.
She hadn't done anything wrong, after all.
To bring in an entire legal team… it was as if he was determined to protect her at all costs.
Ethan spoke politely to an officer, "Before Ms. Mercer steps into the station, I'd like to have a word with her. It'll be quick, just a few minutes."
